Available in either SIP or H.323 model.Details on installing, managing and using the Voice Gateways and the Wireless Networking Gateway are provided separately in the relevant manuals.These Gateways incorporate an advanced protocol (DRAP) for automatic registration and allocation of wireless link resource.1.4.1 DRAP (Dynamic Resources Allocation Protocol)DRAP is a protocol based on IP/UDP between the Gateway (installed behind the SU) and the BreezeMAX system. The protocol provides an auto-discovery mechanism for the Gateway, so no specific configuration is required and the Gateway can automatically locate and register with the BreezeMAX base station. The protocol uses a few simple messages enabling a Voice Gateway to request resources when calls are made, and the BreezeMAX to dynamically allocate them.Using the DRAP solution has the following advantages:](https://usermanual.wiki/Alvarion-Technologies/BMAX-SU23.User-Manual/User-Guide-719454-Page-26.png)
![Voice and Networking GatewaysBreezeMAX CPEs Product Manual 7Maintain telephony toll quality over the wireless network - dynamically allocate Continuous Grant (CG) connections for active calls, maintaining the QoS and low jitter needed for toll-quality voice services.Allocate Continuous Grant dedicated bandwidth only for the duration of the call - the air resources are allocated and released according to the DRAP messages, which are based on the VoIP signaling. This dynamic allocation ensures efficient use of the air resources.Prevent callers from placing calls if a sector is overloaded - the operator can control and limit the maximum number of concurrent calls per wireless sector and per end user voice gateway. Thus, the operator has complete control of its network and the resources in it.Automatic support of Codec changing in a VoIP call - the DRAP messages update the BreezeMAX equipment on any Codec change or subsequent bandwidth allocation change during the call, hence the exact required bandwidth is always provided. This is essential in fax transmissions where the call might begin with one Codec and switch to another to accommodate the fax transmission.VoIP stack is always in synch with the wireless transport - as the DRAP is integrated into the VoIP stack all calls are terminated according to the VoIP standard. Even if no resources are available, the voice gateway receives an appropriate message from the BreezeMAX system and sends the required signaling message according to the VoIP standard used.1.4.2 IDU-NG-4D1W Wireless Networking Gateway IDUAlvarion's Wireless Networking Gateway enables operators and service providers using Alvarion's BWA system to provide subscribers with a number of broadband services transparently. The Wireless Networking Gateway IDU together with the SU-ODU comprises an SU that provides data connections to the Base Station.

![Installing the ODU of the PRO-S CPEBreezeMAX CPEs Product Manual 232.1.2 Guidelines for Positioning the ODUThis section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation locations for the ODU.Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:The ODU should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing.The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality. The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the Base Station. In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional Tilt accessory for the ODU providing a tilt range of +/-15° is available from Alvarion. The tilt option might be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is too close to the Base Station, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15° (especially in line-of-sight conditions) to avoid saturation of the receivers by too strong signals.Outdoor units with a connection to an external antenna should be installed as close as possible to the antenna.CAUTIONONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas.Failure to do so may void the BreezeMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.](https://usermanual.wiki/Alvarion-Technologies/BMAX-SU23.User-Manual/User-Guide-719454-Page-43.png)

If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.5Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality (SNR and RSSI) reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.6Secure the ODU/antenna firmly to the pole.3.3.2 SU Alignment Unit (SAU)The SU Alignment Unit can be used during installation and testing to support an easy process of antenna alignment and provide the ODU's status indications. The Velcro strap of the SAU enables to attach it either to a pole or on the installer's arm/wrist, providing hands-free operation.1Remove the sealing cap of the ODU's SAU connector.2Connect the cable attached to the SAU to the SAU connector.NOTEEnsure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the Base Station.CAUTIONIn some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. When the RSSI reading is higher than -20 dBm, the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the AU, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°.

![BST/AU ID Parameters MenuBreezeMAX CPEs Product Manual 894.6 BST/AU ID Parameters MenuEach AU (logical sector) in the network is configured with a unique ID comprising an Operator ID, Cell ID and Sector ID. The BST/AU ID parameters in the SU define the Base Station(s)/AU(s) that can synchronize with the SU. These parameters include the base BST/AU ID and the BST/AU ID Mask. The SU can synchronize only with AUs with a Base Station ID that is included in the IDs range defined by the applicable parameters in the SU. When the Best BST/AU Support is disabled, the SU will start searching for available AUs in the range defined by the BST/AU ID and BST/AU ID Mask, and will try to connect to the first found AU whose Base Station ID is in the defined range.An SU that can communicate with more than one BST/AU may become associated with the first BST/AU it "finds", not necessarily the best choice in terms of quality of communication. Changes in base station deployment and subscriber density can accumulate to create substantial changes in SU performance. The quest for load sharing together with the desire to create best throughput conditions for the SU created the need for the Best BST/AU feature, to enable an SU to connect to the best BST/AU in its neighborhood.When the Best BST/AU feature is enabled, the SU scans all BSTs/AUs in a predefined range, Each of the BSTs/AUs with which the SU can communicate (perform initial phase of network entry) is given a quality mark based on the quality of the signal at which it is received by the SU. At the end of the scanning period, the SU reaches a Best BST/AU decision according to the information gathered. The BST/AU with the highest quality mark is selected as the Best BST/AU, and the SU will immediately try to associate with it at the relevant frequency. The range used for scanning is defined by the BST/AU ID and BST/AU ID Mask parameters. The initial range can be limited by defining a preferred range of BST/AUs, and selecting the best BST/AU in the preferred range. If no BST/AU is found in the preferred range, the SU will scan the entire range.The BST/AU ID Parameters menu includes the following options:ShowBST/AU IDBST/AU ID Mask](https://usermanual.wiki/Alvarion-Technologies/BMAX-SU23.User-Manual/User-Guide-719454-Page-109.png)

A set of protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to allow communication between dissimilar networks and systems over long distances. TCP/IP is the de facto standard for data transmission over networks, including the Internet.TDD Time Division Duplex is a duplexing technique dividing a radio channel in time to allow downlink operation during part of the frame period and uplink operation in the remainder of the frame period.TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a network, usually without the use of client authentication.Tx TransmitμBST Micro Base StationUDP User Datagram Protocol. Connectionless transport layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol stack. UDP is a simple protocol that exchanges datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery, requiring that error processing and retransmission be handled by other protocols. UDP is defined in RFC 768. UL Up LinkVLAN Virtual Local Area Network. A group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured with the same VLAN ID so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Used also to create separation between different user groups.](https://usermanual.wiki/Alvarion-Technologies/BMAX-SU23.User-Manual/User-Guide-719454-Page-152.png)
![GlossaryBreezeMAX CPEs Product Manual 133VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol. Provides an advanced digital communications network that bypasses the traditional public switched telephone system and uses the Internet to transmit voice communication. VoIP enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit switched transmissions of the PSTN.WCS Wireless Communications Services. The variety of services available using frequencies in the 2.3 GHz band for general fixed wireless use.WEEE Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment. The purpose of Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is, as a first priority, the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those operators directly involved in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.WL (or W/L) Wireless LANWIMAX The name commonly given to the IEEE 802.16 standard. Specifications for fixed broadband wireless metropolitan access networks (MANs) that use a point-to-multipoint architecture. WIMAX supports very high bit rates in both uploading to and downloading from a base station up to a distance of 30 miles.](https://usermanual.wiki/Alvarion-Technologies/BMAX-SU23.User-Manual/User-Guide-719454-Page-153.png)
